Its not just overacting by the female lead - it's crappy overacting. Cartoonish, unnecessary over the top editing, silly dialogue, story that makes no sense. Villian can just magically appear and disappear, no rules apply to him. Despite multiple incidences of Chikki disrupting police operations, her actions helping criminals escape, trespassing a crime scene, damaging police property more than once, causing bodily harm to the male lead on several occasions, eavesdropping and participating in an investigation as a civilian, she never gets a formal warning or fine or prison time - is this how it works in India? She should be banned from the police academy and have a record already. She's all bark and no bite. One of the worst portrayals of a 'strong' woman. Them falling in love is just an unrealistic stretch.
